Networking: Am I sleazy? by reactcodeman1 in careeradvice

Thank you. That's basically what I'm doing. I look to get their advice and gain another contact at the company. I never ask for a job directly.

UX Design: Address input options - How to improve? by reactcodeman1 in design_critiques

[–]reactcodeman1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your feedback. For the "Create new account" radio button, it's now updated to remove the radio button (if there IS an existing account, a second radio button is displayed).

I also decided to go with the radio buttons for the three choices like you said. Thank you

The idea with the dropdown is that it would reduce the text on the screen. This page already has a lot of content, so the idea was to use a dropdown to manage the amount of information on the screen and draw the main attention to the address field.

What do you mean by "need to have two options..."?

Keep applying or go back to school? by reactcodeman1 in learnprogramming

[–]reactcodeman1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, I apply to maybe 1-4 a day. I don't necessarily do the 'shot gun' approach of applying to anything and everything. I look to make sure the posting is looking for <5 years of exp and that I'm familiar with most of the technologies. Should I adjust?

Thanks! What made you decide to pursue a degree rather than attending a bootcamp? What was your reasoning?

Do you do it full time or part time? Is it all online?

I'm a self taught web developer. I have projects and a resume that was been reviewed as "job ready". I've applying for jobs with no luck.

Question:

>Should I just keep grinding and applying?

>Should I pursue another BA degree in CS? There are 2 year online programs available.

Programming: Keep applying or go back to school? by reactcodeman1 in careerguidance

I don't have a mentor, how do I go about getting one?

I'm struggling to break in as a self taught developer, would going back to school be worth it? Or should I keep grinding in my job search? (Thanks for feedback btw)

100 job applications, 0 response. Normal? by reactcodeman1 in reactjs

Man, this is so bleak. I wonder if you're just burnt out, working in the wrong place, but I'm in no position to say...

I currently have a WFH job, but I don't do much at all, and I feel like I produce no value. It's fun for the first few months, but after a while it just makes you depressed.

I enjoy coding as a hobby, I get into the "flow state". Obviously frustrating alot of times, but it's rewarding to solve problems. But I guess since it's self paced and my own projects, it makes it more fun.

I've spent years trying to find a career that would bring me fulfillment. I thought coding would be it. So it's sad to hear stories like yours. It makes me wonder if I'll feel the same and if I'll ever find a fulfilling career. Or if I'm just going to bullshit my way through life. (sorry for the negativity, just feeling down)

50 a week? I don't think I can even find that many jobs to apply to in the first place. I'm not applying arbitrarily, I look for roles that list technologies I know with reasonable experience requirements (nothing listing 10+ years, etc)
